Things like this have probably been done a thousand times... here's another 
one.

The "ball" is an isosurface, using data from terrainbase 
(<http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/global/seltopo.html>) and an image map (and 
clouds) from Blue Marble 
(<http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/BlueMarble/>).

I'd still like to improve the lighting (with radiosity), the toothbrush's 
"hairs" and some textures, and maybe add a glass or something to be seen in 
the mirror.
